Scientific Data Analysis: A Roadmap for Systems Researchers

This talk will provide you with an essential roadmap for systems researchers navigating scientific data analysis. We begin with strategies for selecting and designing robust scientific experiments. We'll then explore methods for systematic data collection and dive into the two key aspects of data analysis: exploratory and explanatory. Practical tips to avoid common pitfalls throughout the research process will be highlighted. By the end, attendees will gain basic knowledge enabling them to refine their own work in systems research and avoid common missteps.
